+// The C++ standard requires that static const members have an out-of-class |
+// definition (in a single compilation unit), but MSVC chokes on this (when |
+// language extensions, which are required, are enabled). (You're only likely to |
+// notice the need for a definition if you take the address of the member or, |
+// more commonly, pass it to a function that takes it as a reference argument -- |
+// probably an STL function.) This macro makes MSVC do the right thing. See |
+// http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/34h23df8(v=vs.100).aspx for more |
+// information. Use like: |
+// |
+// In .h file: |
+// struct Foo { |
+// static const int kBar = 5; |
+// }; |
+// |
+// In .cc file: |
+// STATIC_CONST_MEMBER_DEFINITION const int Foo::kBar; |
+#if V8_HAS_DECLSPEC_SELECTANY |
+#define STATIC_CONST_MEMBER_DEFINITION __declspec(selectany) |
+#else |
+#define STATIC_CONST_MEMBER_DEFINITION |
